Hello, Vatsal

Incorporated in the year 1861, Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private research institute located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter, the Institute admitted its first student and shortly thereafter in 1871, admitted its first woman student. MITs opening marked the foundation of a new kind of independent educational institution by coupling teaching and research with a primary focus on solving real-world problems. There are 30 departments across 5 schools in MIT, pioneering new ways of learning on the campus.


Students may apply to MIT under the early action or regular decision plan. Unlike many selective colleges, MIT doesnt use Common App or Coalition application, but uses an independent application specific to the school. However, its similar to other applications in that you will need to complete sections such as your biographical info and activities and extracurriculars.



With an admissions rate of 6.7%, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the most selective schools in the U.S. MIT is especially famous for its top STEM programs in fields like engineering and computer science, but it does have programs in other fieldseven in humanities subjects, such as creative writing.


If you hope to attend MIT, youll face stiff competition. Read on for the schools admissions requirements, and learn how you can boost your chances of admission


MIT superscores the SAT and ACT, meaning the admissions committee will only consider your highest test scores on each section of each test, regardless of whether those scores occurred on the same test. Along with the SAT and ACT, applicants must submit two SAT subject tests, one of which must be Math I or II, and the other of which must be Physics, Chemistry, or Biology.


If you are not a native English speaker, you must achieve a minimum score of 90 on the TOEFL. (This is the minimum, but in reality, most international students score at least a 105.)


While these ranges are the 25th 75th percentile, keep in mind that if youre applying without special circumstances or a hook of some sort, being on the lower end of these ranges can hurt you.


On SAT Subject Tests youre looking for at least a 720, and ideally 780+ on each of the exams. While students have gotten in with scores that are lower, this is the most common range.


Hope this helps!
